how to install HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 Plus 2SFF HDD Enablement Kit

Follow these general steps to add the 2SFF HDD Enablement Kit to your HPE DL20 Gen10 Plus. Always refer to your server’s maintenance and safety documentation before beginning any hardware upgrade.

  • Power down the server, unplug all power sources, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge before touching internal components.
  • Open the server chassis and locate the drive bays area to determine the best placement for the new SFF drives in accordance with the chassis guidelines.
  • Prepare the two SFF drive carriers by ensuring they are clean and free of debris, then secure the drives into the provided carriers if you are adding new drives; if mounting empty carriers, align them with the chassis mounting points.
  • Install the drive carriers into the available 2.5-inch bays in the DL20 Gen10 Plus chassis, ensuring a firm connection to the backplane and proper seating of any required latches or screws.
  • Connect the data and power cables from the server’s storage controller to the new drive backplane connectors, making sure all connections are fully seated.
  • Route and secure cable management to avoid interference with fans, racks, or other components, then reassemble the chassis and replace the side panel.
  • Power on the server and enter the BIOS or the RAID/storage controller utility to verify that the new drives are recognized. Configure RAID, pass-through, or other storage policies as required for your workload.
  • Bootstrap into the operating system, install any needed storage drivers, and perform a quick health check to ensure the new drives are operating correctly and visible to your applications.
